Five Pathways to Wholeness: Explorations in Pastoral Care and Counselling

Examines five pathways to wholeness within the Christian tradition of pastoral care: biblical counselling; the healing ministries; pastoral counselling; spiritual direction, and social change. These journeys into wholeness are examined in terms of their distinctive theologies, spiritualities and practical outworkings. The book is a revision, updating and popularizing of Part II of the author's more academic book, Pathways to Wholeness: Pastoral care in a postmodern age (OP). The Association of Christian Counsellors in the UK is concerned this material is no longer available, and David Runcorn is very supportive of the idea of its reissue in a more accessible form for a wider readership.
